How to Draw a Knight Face
Draw a knight face in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: big egg head.
Step 1: Big egg head
In the upper middle of your paper draw a big egg head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Leave room above for the helmet and its plume.
Step 2: Big eyes
Below the middle of the head draw 2 big oval eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Nose and smile
Between the eyes draw a tiny U nose. Under it draw a wide smile from eye to eye.
Step 4: Helmet
Start on the left of the head by the eyebrows. Draw a dome over the head, down to the right.
Step 5: Raised visor
On the front of the dome draw a curved band that bows up over the forehead.
Step 6: Cheek guards
From each dome corner draw a straight guard down beside the face, square at the jaw. Add a bolt dot.
Tip Rub out the dome's corner lines inside the guards.
Step 7: Plume
From the top of the helmet draw a long curved plume sweeping left to a point, back to the helmet.
Step 8: Neck and tunic
Under the chin draw 2 short neck lines. From each draw a shoulder sloping down to the edge.
Step 9: Cross
Under the collar draw the outline of a fat cross, with 4 short thick arms.
Step 10: Peach face, pink cheeks
Colour the face and neck peach, with pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Grey helmet
Colour the helmet, the visor and the cheek guards grey, around the face.
Step 12: Red plume, blue tunic
Colour the plume and the cross red, then the tunic blue around the cross. Go over your lines.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a knight face, drawn by you.
